The UHP is teaming up with MVC to launch a classic film series!  The first film is “In the Heat of the Night” and will be playing this Sunday, January 18th, at 2:00 in the Eckles library auditorium. This film, starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, was released in 1967 and remains as powerful as ever.

 

Below is a short film description:

“On the surface, this movie is a conventional murder mystery set in a small southern town, but after four decades the film still packs a punch, capturing the decline of an old white justice system though characters who reveal less about race than how people are in general.”

Please join us for a screening of this wonderful and important film.  Snacks will be served!

GET EXCITED! It’s almost time to register!  But before you can register for next semester’s classes, you have some housekeeping to do.  Find out how to get your holds removed and where to find the best courses for you next semester!

Advising Hold Removal Schedule
While all honors students are encouraged to see a Honors Program Officer before registration, Columbian College students who have not declared a major MUST meet with one of the Program Officers to remove your advising hold BEFORE registration.  Make sure you are prepared with a tentative course schedule using the Spring 2015 Schedule of Classes and Honors course descriptions.  As new course information and revisions become available we will update the website.  Please re-check the information on the Schedule of Classes and the Honors site before you register to ensure that you’re up-to-date!
Please use our wide selection of dates to your advantage – plan on meeting with an advisor at a time that is most practical given your registration date.  Students may discuss registration and remove advising hold by one of the following options:

1. Attend an advising party:

• Tuesday, November 4^th from 2:30-4:30 – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
• Wednesday, November 5^th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. – pizza in West Hall on Mount Vernon!
• Monday, November 10^th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!

Attention ALL Students: Urgent Hold Information
Check your record via GWeb regarding holds prior to your scheduled registration time.  Any hold on your account will prevent access to registration.
Elliott, Business, and Engineering School students should meet with their school advisors for hold removal, if they have holds, and for registration advising, but are always welcome to Honors advising about their course selection!
